The election inspector filed with the court, demanding immediate payment for his election inspection services, which now amount to $14,000.

The Society makes $50,000 gross income on a good year, and 2009 wasn't one.

Simultaneously, the Society's lawyer attempted to argue that Gross/Goligoski should pay since they started the inspection. That would be a difficult argument to win, without getting into the rather complex legal matter of their long history of scheming and legal manipulation.

The court said "No" on both counts. It validated $14,000 as an appropriate amount of money for an election inspection, but it refused Brooks a special status as debtor, and it also refused to assign costs to Gross.
